the necessity for wives, mothers sisters and other
sorts and conditions of females setting good ex-
ample and adopting set rule.

"Order, sir come 20 order" piped the chairwoman
shrilly.
MADAM, am in order was saying that have

"Sir, you are no gentleman screamed the secre-
tary indignantly. Leave the room sir! How dare
you speak of the notice you have taken of ladies'
er-well undergarments?'
Ladies', protested Gillespie-ladies, let me"
AS they hustled him out of the room he was heard
to exclaim: breaches of tenlperancer'

The large amount of inert matter or resi-

will be noted. This In the phosphate powders
Is largely OF lime; in the alum powders it is
chiefly alum. 1t win be gratifying to tho pub

stancc-the Royal and DIR. Prce's-the inert
matter in Prices is seen to be abont five in
seven more than in the former n difference of
II 81 per cent, the Royal being purer than
Prices by corresponding figure.
The carbonic OF leavening gas produced by
tho powders indicates their strength and their
true value may be nscertained by considering
che amount of this gas in connection with their
inert matter or residuum as shown above The
higher the percentage OF gas and the lower tho
percentage of residuum the better the baking
powder These percentages, as found in some
OF the most familiar powders are given rs fol-

BAKING POWDERS.
This Ohio State Food Commission
Take Action.
ANALYSES OF THE CHIEF BRANDS
Their Strength and Value Officially Ascer-
tained-A Large Number I'm
pure and Unwholesome.

Tho Ohio State Dairy and Food Commits
eioner, General S. III. Hurst, has made public
lCircular No. 81 the results OF the Commits
sion's investigation of baking powder. This
Commission was formed by the Legislature,
with instructions to make an examination OF
the food supply of the State, and to give re-
port of such examination to the public. Tho
examination of the baking powders was made
by Professor II. A. Weber, State Chemist, and,
rotating as 1t does TO an article of daily use in
the food of almost every one, is of particular
Interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out by
the report that of the thirty different brands of
baking powder analysed, composing about all
those sold in the State, twenty Of them are
made from alum, a substance declared by the
highest medical authorities to be injurious to
health when used i'll food.
The Commissioner Classics the baking pow
ders into three general divisions, according to
their value:
list. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders.
ID Phosphate Baking Powders
Sd Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking powders is, when mixed
In the -four and subjected to moisture, TO gem
crate a leavenng gas in the dough, which Will
raise the bread and cause it to be porous and

best baking powder is that which, the ingre-
Clients being healthiul, gives oil the largest
amount Of leavening gas and leaves tho small

nnount Of carbonate of ammonia, which is
considered healthful, is used in some of the
cream Of tartar powders to give them higher
strength The Commission says that pure
Qlum is undoubtedly hurtful salt, and that
Ehe resultant salts from its combination with
soda as formed in the bread, can scarcely be
less hurtful. The report ranks the powders

what their career was prior to their

Victoria is much criticized for compelling
Beatrice, wife of Henry of Battenberg to
accompany her to the continent, leaving the

but those who should be well Informed de-
clare that it is serious case of ipfiamma- :.
ton of the bowels. He is fortunately out o.
danger, but this does not check the adverse
comment on the grandmother course IN
obliging the mother to remain away I Tnder
the circumstances. The Princess OF wales
is reported, in spite Of bulletins to the con-
trary, quite seriously i'll of diptheretic sore
threat. He. condition is undoubtedly ag-
ernvs,eGi by mental distress over the situa'
tion of her sister. The Czarina is said to be
in u state of nervous apprehension bordering
on hysteria on account OF the attempt upon
the Cars life and a constant fear that 1t Will

the Duchess of Cumberland, Princess Thyre,
is lameniable with little hope OF complete
recovery.
